Newborn infants routinely undergo painful invasive procedures, even after uncomplicated birth. Evidence shows that neonates do feel pain and may even have increased sensitivity to pain and to its long term effects compared with older infants. Treating procedural pain has become a crucial part of neonatal care. In healthy infants, the most common painful procedures are heel lance and venipuncture. Though minimally invasive, lancing is a painful procedure that activates cortical areas in brain .Repetitive procedural pain can lead to changes in the pain sensitivity threshold therefore, adequate analgesic control is needed. Pharmacological treatments are rarely used during these procedures because of concerns about their effectiveness (topical local anesthetics or paracetamol for heel pricks) and potential adverse effects (central analgesics). Therefore, non-pharmacological interventions are valuable alternatives. Recent interventions such as sweet oral solutions (sucrose or glucose) and non-nutritive sucking have been used frequently to alleviate pain.
